    paige as next season's point guard

    She should be the point guard because she is the best facilitator- who can also take the shot if need be. Paige is going to have plenty of great scorers to pass to- and who she should pass to if they are open. She will still score plenty of points. This coming year, i think that UConn will...

    Talk to me about replacing windows...

    I am a painting contractor and was a juror in a lawsuit where the installation of the windows was at issue- Some of them leaked because they had not been installed and caulked properly. They had to be reinstalled. Because it was done by a contractor, we voted to reimburse the plaintiff for...

    I think Gandy is going to be really Good

    I did not realize that she had moved to the US, and was getting some "Hurley" instruction. She looks much slimmer and much more fluid then when she was in Ireland. and has a nice straight body, hands up defensive posture under the basket. She really looks like someone with a lot of potential.

    Can ( and will) Geno run a 9 or 10 player rotation

    I do not think that Geno has ever had a philosophy on the number of players in a rotation. He gives the minutes on the floor that the players have demanded by their performance in practice. There are no "bench" players on this team. All the injured players from this year and the incoming...

    Charlie Creme's Way-Too-Early Top 25

    Until all the injured players are actually performing again on court next year, and Azzi and Aubry probably will be given part of the season to fully recover, the #4 makes sense. But, if the injured players are able to return as did Paige, UConn will clearly be the #1 team. And, there are some...

    Ines in the transfer portal

    She is a solid player and will find a program where she can get some major court time.

    Pundits picks

    None of the predictions went into the specifics of the matchups very well. Some of them did say that Paige had a better al around game than CC, but underestimated the talent differential with the rest of the team members. The Iowa team are very good players, but only one was in the top 50 out...

    Poll - Will the talented bench force Geno to give them more PT?

    Whenever Geno can't be at a game, CD has shown the desire to play the bench more.

    New article about Ines

    If heart and hard work alone were enough, Molly Bent would have been a starting guard at UConn. Ines, on the other hand, has shown flashes of Division 1 basketball skills and the ability to perform under pressure. UConn is the best place in the world for a player to achieve their maximum...

    Paige Bueckers, Azzi Fudd ready to lead UConn women's basketball together: 'Capture those moments

    I think the duo of Azzi and Paige will score 50 points a game with the higher and lower scorer in each game shifting back and forth.

    A logo confession with some history

    My father was on the UConn football team the year that Johnathan II chased the Brown Bear (cub) up a tree. There is a picture of it in the yearbook. When I first saw it, I thought that it was staged; but, my dad said it was real. However, most embarrassing to Brown was the score of the game-...

    OT: Best former-pro tv analyst/play by play (any sport)

    Howard Cosell, who has been named as the best (not the most likeable) sports announcer of all-time. His play-by-play of boxing on radio was amazingly exciting and disruptive. You could visualize the fight as if you were watching it. One funny story- Cosell had been in a fraternity in...

    Hailey Van Lith & LB transfer predictions

    In checking the Iowa site, as of now there are 16 players who, as of now, are on the roster= two recruits and two who might want to stay. Both of the latter would have to leave for a portal player to join. Since Betts is leaving a top academic school, it has to be is looking to her basketball...

    Lauren Betts in the Portal

    UConn has been early ranked as #1 they are loaded in every position except a true five. In the next recruiting classes are more top guards and forwards, but no center. The center that decides to UConn will end up with multiple national championships.

    Hurley's next contract

    I agree with the post that for Hurley, it is not just about the money. He has said that UConn was his dream job. With the incredible success that he has had and the impact that the national championship will have on future success, he will retire from coaching at UConn. And, his wife will...

    Geno and MBB Player Alex Karaban

    To me, Geno's funniest comment this year was when he said that he had told Nika that he was going to set up some plays to get her open for a three. The punch line, "she actually believed me"

    Its hard to Believe

    Any team that can score a lot of points- especially 3's, has a good defense and a decent rotation can, obviously. win a national championship, There is every reason to believe that Caroline and Azzi will add all three of those elements to the fabulous five.

    Hold on to your hats - Charlie speaks

    I was just going to ask if the actual brackets matched Creme's. I'm glad they don't. Keeping LSU as a top team is just a continuation of all the years Tenn was picked way past their prime and were eliminated early in the post season- only to be rated highly again the following year.

    Allie Ziebell won The Wisconsin Gatorade Player of the Year Award

    UConn has a pack of great guards for the future. Allie is something of a fanatic on developing her skills. Has any other college team, men or women, had such a run of great guard recruits as UConn?

    Geno said he’s learning to enjoy imperfect games

    What I thought was really funny was Geno's comment, somewhere, that he would not watch the games live when CD was coaching. He would just check the scores or wait until the game was over. I think a number of us, including me, can relate to that.

    So, 15 straight FFs?

    A UConn vs SC championship game would get, by far, the most pre-game media attention and the largest audience. I think that the Committer is well aware of that.
